About Hawaii Tech Week 2026

Hawaii Tech Week (HTW) is Hawaii's premier technology event, taking place September 2026 in Honolulu, Hawaii. This free 7-day event brings together 2,500+ tech professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, founders, and executives from across the Pacific region and beyond. The event features diverse programming including startup pitch competitions, AI and coding workshops, investor panels, networking mixers, and educational sessions covering topics like venture capital, deep tech, ocean technology, and entrepreneurship. Unlike a traditional conference, HTW follows the "tech week" format popularized in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Miami, with events hosted across multiple venues by various community partners and sponsors including Aloha Equity, AEP Hawaii, Blue Startups, Builders VC, HTDC, and others. Registration is free for the main event, though some individual hosted events may have separate costs.
